Ok so my witching hour timing was off and was midday instead of midnight...who's counting the clock anyway. I still posed my most powerful pose, luckily there was no dark horseman behind me, just weeds...lots of weeds. I decided to stand out a little and throw on this coat that I don't think I will ever part with. It was a Christmas gift a couple years ago from my husband by one of my favorite designers, Rick Owens. If you don't already know him, you should! And while I'm at it how about some thigh high boots and a flirty dress. But to make it just slightly I added a sweater and my foldover Stella McCartney tote:) -xx

What's a catwalk anyway? Wikipedia defines it also as a runway, like in Fashion, that is a narrow elevated platform that runs between two sections...or in this case a highway. I tried to transform my fenced in concrete catwalk into my own long and narrow runway. And how best to capture the gloomy day on my own runway, I mean catwalk? But with a pair of high-waisted flared pants of course, to give me some more leg room or height if you know what I mean. I gave it my best shot or two, so I hope I have instilled some inspiration to make your catwalk your own:) -xx

So I tried channeling my inner 1980s/Dynasty for this look, but I think I missed the mark a bit. I bought this vintage Sonia Rykiel top in a boutique I liked to frequent while I was living in San Francisco. San Fran had the best resale boutiques I've seen in a while and I love my resale. It originally came with huge shoulder pads and was a few sizes too big so I decided to alter it just a little. Unfortunately, the tailor took out the shoulder pads which originally gave it some strong 80s personality, but I thought I could work with it anyway, Given it was another oddly warm November day, I decided to roll up my sleeves, throw on some black jeans and tried to capture a smidge of the 80s with my satin pointed toe heels, a shoulder bag and my hair half up. Like I said before I'm sure I missed the mark but it's been my favorite shoot so far:) -xx

Welcome to my 1st shoot! I finally built up the courage to get started and put myself out there. Luckily I had the support of my husband to push me off the ledge, AND take my pictures. They say you never forget your 1st so I will remember this oddly warm November day, 70 degrees to be exact, as my 1st experience on the other side of the camera, trying to pose:) I bought this Stella McCartney skirt over the summer and had been dying to wear it, so I jumped at the opportunity when my husband pulled out our camera and said "lets go!". I paired it with a basic black tee. my favorite pair of sneakers and added some edge with an oversized clutch topped off with a moto jacket. Hope I'm off to a good start:) -xx
